Porini was the gold medal winner in the 1960 Warsaw Chopin Competition. He showed the essence of these works with his unique art and skills, loyalty to the composer's requirements and rich personal imagination.
Penguin Review said when referring to this record: "Porini has mastered the subtle poetry in music ... This is an authoritative performance, which is more convincing than Rubinstein's performance in some aspects."
Extended data:
Polonaise, also known as Polish dance music, originated in the second half of16th century. At first, nobles and their female companions marched rhythmically with the accompaniment of music. 1574, Polonaise was born in Henry's palace of Polish king Anjou, and thrived in a hard and belligerent atmosphere.
It became a political dance, and someone once wrote lyrics for it. There are two theories about the origin of "Polonaise Dance". One is the triumph dance of samurai, and the other is the folk family dance.
It jumps every three-quarters of a meter, and the stress falls on the second beat of each bar. Music basically consists of two parts, and sometimes a third part is added. All endings are feminine. Although this dance music is full of masculinity in general, it uses a very feminine title "Polonaise".
